Paola Moffa Sanchez

Dr Paola Moffa Sanchez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Durham University, specializing in paleoclimatology and oceanography. She investigates decadal-to-millennial-scale ocean variability and its climate connections through the last millennia, interglacial periods, and deglaciation events.

• Research Focus: Ocean-climate interactions, proxy reconstructions, high-resolution marine sediment cores
• Key Regions: North Atlantic, Western Tropical Pacific, Labrador Sea
• Methodologies: Faunal and geochemical analysis in foraminifera, grain size measurements, chemical sediment composition

Her publications reveal expertise in ocean circulation dynamics, climate modeling, and proxy data synthesis, with notable work on the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool and Little Ice Age mechanisms. She supervises PhD student Alena Sakovich and collaborates on global paleotemperature databases.
